zanygames Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hey, I just placed my first 9 head rack at a pizza place last week. $475 to fill it up with 1.1" caps and 2" caps with shipping from coastentertainment. That is the first and last time I will be buying from them. As we are placing in the display cards for the two inch toy capsules we notice that toys on the card are the big 2" size toys but the toys inside the capsules are the small 1" toys. So they took the 1" .25 vend items and just placed them in the 2" capsules. So I feel ripped off. Plus I paid a great deal more than getting the same items from AA, which I learned about after the fact. So once these sell out I'll give AA a try.

zanygames Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah, I saw I could order from Coast Entertainment and they had their prices listed on their site, which were the best I found online and I had a location waiting for my 9 rack that I needed to place. I contacted AA as well because they had no prices listed on their website. It took AA over a week to get me a price list and by that time I had already ordered from Coast Ent. Once I got the price list from AA I knew I got screwed. Then to top it off when I got the cheap items instead of the larger items I paid for I really felt robbed.

dperry Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I know that A&A will put 50c 1" items in 2" caps so that they can be sold for 50c or more. This may be what happened to you. What product was it? MiniMalz? Urbanzees? Unless you are saying that the toys for the display card and the toys in the caps were different sizes? Doesn't the 2" Monkey'n Around come with larger figures than the 1" ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 AA pulled the same crap with me! I told them I wanted the $.50, 2" mystery mix.....and I got the same junk that is in the eggs that are half the price! Not happy about that.......

Steve We also have pricelists posted in the catalog section here on the site. It is stickied at the top of the bulk section. There is an A&A pricelist current as of August 09 posted. If anyone has anything newer, pass it along so I can update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanygames Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Is AA Global a reseller also? I thought they were the source? If AA Global is not the source of these toy items, please let me know who is. To answer your question, I bought a bunch of 1.1 and 2" items from Coast Ent. The Adopt a Pet and Bendable Buddies I got the 2" display cards with the large figures but inside the 2" capsules were 80% 1" toys. Also the price was at least $10 - $15 more per 250 items than the price list I got from AA Global. I paid $46.80 for 250 Benable Buddies plus $8.33 Shipping, and got the 1" tossed in a 2" capsule. I could have gotten the 2" I ordered from AA Glob for $37 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Is AA Global a reseller also? I thought they were the source? If AA Global is not the source of these toy items, please let me know who is.Except for a select few items on the vending market, A&A is *the* source for vendable product. If you see it from another seller, they are just reselling it from A&A. The select few primary sellers are A&A, ActionMatic, Cardinal, BlueBar, Brand, SSM, Novalties-a-go-go, and VSI. CEI/TNT has a mix of original items along with repackaged resale items. The resellers are too numerous to list all of them here, but the ones that have been around the most are TJKing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
